One of the reasons why I don't g et excited about white fiction largely is because I was raised with a more honest comprehension of Black Fiction\, which most black people when chil dren are not. And to be blunt\, not sacred but secular. One of the things I realized as an adult is how religious many black homes are. Christianity /ISlam/Judaism/Buddhism/Vodun/Yoruba or other\, Black people tend to be ra ised in a faith based home\, so alot of literature involving Black people tend to encircle faith based living so relibious text/spiritual text/self help/biographical books... but fiction tends to not be on the shelf. I fig ured in the African American Literary Book club someone should place publi c variants of work that is freely available but indicative of Black People in the 1800s or before. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n Negro Spirituals + Work Song s [Originally Predating the USA\, the modern form comes from the circa 186 5 variants of either\, as whites successfully eliminated most record of bl ack life from being created or if it was created]\n\n https://aalbc.com/tc /blogs/entry/498-negro-spirituals-work-songs/\n\n\n\n Bars Fight 1746 from Lucy Terry\n\n https://aalbc.com/tc/blogs/entry/348-bars-fight-from-lucy- terry/\n\n\n\n Hope Of Liberty 1829 + Poetical Works 1845 from George M Ho rton\n\n https://aalbc.com/tc/blogs/entry/485-george-m-horton-remembering- juneteenth/\n\n\n\n Le Mulâtre 1837 from Victor Séjour \n\n https://aal bc.com/tc/blogs/entry/495-le-mul%C3%A2tre-from-victor-s%C3%A9jour-two-vers ions-split-by-an-essay/\n\n\n\n Clotel 1853 from William Well Brown\n\n ht tps://aalbc.com/tc/blogs/entry/496-clotel-or-the-presidents-daughter-a-nar rative-of-slave-life-in-the-united-states-by-william-well-brown/\n\n\n\n T he Garies and their friends 1857 from Francis Johnson Webb\n\n https://aal bc.com/tc/blogs/entry/497-the-garies-and-thier-friends/\n\n\n\n Blake 1861 from Martin Delaney\n\n https://aalbc.com/tc/blogs/entry/494-weekly-%C2%A 0anglo-african-and-%C2%A0the-pine-and-palm%C2%A0-excerpts-from-1861%E2%80% 931862blake-or-the-huts-of-america-a-tale-of-the-mississippi-valley-the-so uthern-united-states-and-cuba-from-martin-delany/\n\n\n\n Shuffle ALong 19 21 from Eubie Blake [Yes not 1800s and not the earliest Black stageplay\, I have a book of early black stageplays\, it hasn't been made electronic\, but ]\n\n https://aalbc.com/tc/blogs/entry/478-my-search-for-shuffle-alon g/\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n NOTE: the following are in my personal collection an d I haven't seen their contents publicly available. \n\n Les Cenelles [in teresting essay: https://64parishes.org/entry/les-cenelles \; a book on th e gens de colour : https://www.gutenberg.org/files/20554/20554-h/20554-h.h tm ]\n\n Every Tongue Got To Confess [Collected by Zora Neale Hurston \, a very informative and fun read\, exposing many fables and tales of Black p eople pre war between the states]\n\n\n\n AMENDMENT: an interesting read\n \n Spiritual Folk songs about the USA  [ https://www.gutenberg.org/files/ 59884/59884-h/59884-h.htm ]\n\n  \n\n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250805 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
